Heavenly Reminders

Every bark will have its reason,
No meow is ever misplaced,
And even when they leave us,
Death cannot erase their place.

We see them in the shadows,
We feel them in our sleep,
We speak despite their absence,
Their memories alive we keep.

Sometimes still we hear their bark,
their purrs, their whinnies, their calls,
And we wonder how that's possible,
with their souls in Hallowed Halls.

It's because they've sent gifts beforehand,
that echo through space and time,
and they send them back to comfort us,
and of their love their Beloved remind.

[Dedicated to our Basset Hound "Flash," 1985 - 2002]
